Suds in the Bucket

Yep, thats a picture of unfolded laundry up there. That was all I could manage yesterday and today so far. Some days just don't have that many photo opportunities. The good news is both yesterday and today (so far) have been extremely productive. I've vacuumed the whole house, mopped every room but the master bathroom, washed 4 loads of laundry (2 are put away), put 8 recipes into my recipe website for dinner planning, meal planned for the next two weeks, went on a 3 mile walk, planted two gifted tomato plants, planted two pots of flowers, went to the grocery store, got gas, and still managed to get 20 minutes of relaxing on the front porch swing with Sawyer last night. I had big plans for this maternity leave. I was going to do ALL. THE. THINGS! Unfortunately, I haven't managed to get one of those big things done (including steam clean the carpets, study for my licensing exam, paint the laundry room, organize the master closet, etc). But the house isn't a wreck, I'm keeping Oscar alive, and Sawyer doesn't seem to feel too left out. So I'd say that I am accomplishing something. Carey says that I'm not happy without a massive list of to-dos and something to stress about; and there is some truth to that. But, knowing that this was my last pregnancy, and Oscar is my last newborn, I am trying to slow down and smell the roses more. So he only wants to be held in the evenings which used to be my productive time. Okay, I'll just start binge watching TV shows I've been meaning to check out. I continually reminding myself that every cloud has a silver lining. We have some friends coming to visit tonight and tomorrow. I can't wait.

All (S)He Wants to Do is Dance

Sawyer has shown an interest in music and dancing and gets really excited when one or the other is happening. Our friend Derrell (after whom Sawyer is named) was over the other night and they were dancing on the changing table. I only caught the tail end on video but the way he's laughing at the beginning of the video was the way he was squealing for a good 5 minutes. It was so cute to watch.

Fun, Fun, Fun

I apologize for the bad resolution of the pictures, but sometimes my phone is more handy than the camera. We've been working hard on tummy time and Sawyer's muscle control. He's been wiggling like crazy. Most days he only lasts 2-3 minutes on his belly but this particular day he was having a grand time. He's really holding his head up well! Airplane Baby

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

SNOW DAY! We had a cold snowy day two weeks ago. It was cold and rainy with flurries intermixed all day long. We snuggled on the couch and watched movies and I studied for a midterm but by late afternoon the snow was coming down a lot! We got an inch or so in less than 30 minutes. By the time we got our act together it was too dark for outside pictures but as soon as everyone was up Sunday morning we got dressed and went outside to document Sawyer's first snow day. This bear outfit was a hand-me-down from our friends the W's. Their son was born in June so he never wore it. Sawyer looked precious bundled up in it for our pictures.  He didn't much like being outside. It was COLD and BRIGHT! Hopefully that trend won't continue. We want him to love the outdoors as much as we do!
